Mixotheque is an mp3.blog that aims to give visitors the equivalent of two mix CDs a month, parcelled out in the form of mp3 downloads each day. This month’s tracks represent highlights of New Zealand rock’s 80s/90s output. And look, gang, no Dead C.!
If you’re new to Flying Nun, the songs (and the accompanying text on the blog) are an indispensible introduction. If you’re a jaded know-it-all, pretend to be secretly shocked at how good a lot of this stuff still sounds. And yeah, keep the latter sentiment to yourself, because showing surprise about music isn’t something you would ever want to do in front of your friends, right?
